The meeting will be in the Huntsville High School cafeteria at 6 p.m.

Parents have raised concerns about last Thursday's events after hearing officials knew there was a threat before school started.

Superintendent Dr. Ann Roy Moore said proper procedure was followed last week after a rumor about a gun prompted an investigation. During the investigation, an unloaded gun was found in a restroom and the school was placed on lockdown.

Parents flooded the campus on Thursday and wanted to know why school wasn't called off if there was indeed a threat.

Moore said students weren't in danger, and administrators acted according to policy.

The meeting tonight is for Whitesburg parents, and spokesmen Keith Ward said media is not allowed at the meeting.

UPDATE, 4 p.m.: After some discussion, school officials have decided to allow the media in the meeting.
